I am not a developer and I like to play casual games. Everybody do his own business. If people need sometime to relax it is better play game than take drugs. Don’t you think so? It is a profitable way to earn money. I know that developers usually use different affiliate programs (I found it here: http://www.zamango.com/?fr=forums ) such companies as BigFishGames, Reflexive, Alawar and so on… Plaus, it is easy enough especially if all mini-game bases are ready and plugin for WordPress is given for free… Think over it once again! Really! From time to time people need to digress and casual games is the best way…)) So what that they give the first shot for free?

Some people don't have an addiction problem with games, others inevitably do, it's probably more genetic than anything else. Can I be proud to spend my life making games that can enable addictive behavior? One thing's for certain, with women whenever mentioning my interest in game development, they walk away. The reason I enjoy game development is for the application of physics and calculus into a story-telling, fun and interactive environment. It's the beauty of a marriage between art and science. But games only seem to remind people of that friend or relative who became a total loser since he (or she) discovered World of Warcraft. It will be a long hard war earning social acceptance for interactive entertainment.
